What Three Forks Ranch does

Three Forks Ranch is a privately-held, ultra-luxury all-inclusive ranch resort operating on 280,000 contiguous acres (400 square miles) of Rocky Mountain wilderness straddling the Colorado–Wyoming border, near Savery, Wyoming. The property offers 27 guest rooms across the Main Lodge, Tree Houses, and Cardinal Lodge, with a deliberate maximum capacity of 54 guests supported by a 3:1 staff-to-guest ratio (100–150+ staff). Core offerings include guided fly fishing on the 16-mile restored Little Snake River (marketed as "America's Finest Trout Stream"), private snowcat skiing on a 1,100-vertical-foot mountain with ~20 runs, horseback riding, hunting, wildlife tours, sporting clays, and a 6,000-square-foot Roaring Fork Spa featuring North America's only Barr & Wray-designed hydrotherapy system with a proprietary Aquagen oxygen-infusion technology.

The business operates an all-inclusive direct-to-consumer model: guests book through the company's website, phone reservations, or partner-promoted specialty retreats (e.g., a Wine & Wilderness Retreat co-marketed with Cakebread Cellars at $6,800–$7,300 per guest). Pricing is quote-based and bundles accommodations, three meals daily (including ranch-raised beef and farm-to-table sourcing from a sister ranch in Riverton, WY), beverages, activities, spa treatments, gratuities, and ground transport. A differentiating wellness layer is delivered through the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Center — an exclusive partnership embedding Mayo-trained staff, longevity assessments, predictive diagnostics, and ongoing physician access. Ancillary revenue streams include premium Mayo Clinic fitness consultations ($2,500/guest), a branded e-commerce merchandise store, corporate/executive retreat bookings, and an 8,000-head cattle operation.

The company is family-owned by David Pratt (co-owner of the St. Louis Cardinals), has operated continuously since 1865, and reports no institutional funding, public listing, or acquisition activity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; headcount is reported in the 251–500 range in firmographic data versus 100–150 staff dedicated to guest service per the company's own materials, suggesting the higher figure includes the cattle ranching and broader operational workforce. Marketing relies on luxury-press editorial (WSJ, Forbes, Elite Traveler, Robb Report, Outside), earned media appearances (Fox Nation, Health Uncensored with Dr. Drew), email, and a content-rich blog.
